Death OF DR.. Peters-NO Coupons
Revival.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.]
FARMvnLE, December 3, 1887.
DIR. Il. G. Peters died this morning OF
apoplexy. He was at the house of one
Of his neighbors yesterday, came home
about night, and Immediately became
unconscious, dying this morning at half
past 7 o'clock. DR.. Peters was the old
est citizen living about here, and would
have completed his eighty-fourth year
had he lived until Christmas-day. He
was an Englishman by birth, and for
years before the war had an extensive
practice.
The county treasurer informs your
correspondent that about one fourth of
the taxes were paid prior to December
LIST, and no coupon had been rendered or
presented.
DIR. William Dinwiddie is on the third
week of revival services at the Presby-
terrain church, aud has crowds at his
preaching. His expository form OF pre-
senting the Gospel is popular and
pleasing. CEPHAs.

The Philadelphia Press (Radical-Re-

of her hog crop. Nevertheless the
Republicans expect to carry that State
next fall" The Press should have used

GOOD TIDIaGS.


Good tidings Good tidings!
Ring out, o Christmas bells!
From lofty spires the joyful sound
Ger hill and woodland swelis:
Go Irvine with ivy leaves and bay
The hnlly's coral gem.
And welcome, Christian hearts, to-day.
The Babe OF Bethlehem.
Good tidings! Good ti!inCs.
Ii is the scifsamc strain
That once the holy angels Slrg
To shepherds on the plan;
a song which brings the weary rest,
And comforts those who mourn;
The ancient anthem ever blest,
ITO US a Child is born
Good tiiings Good tidings.
The world Is old and SAD:
We need the blessed Christmas tide
To make MS young and glRi.
To darkenel eyes that saw through tears
Their hearth lights fade and die.
This holy radiance appears.
The dayspring from on high.
Good tidings Good tilnys.
The music shaft not cease;
He came to guide our Maynard feet
InfO the path of peace.
Chime, tuneful bells and lOuGly ring,
To hail the Christmas morn:
Aw'ke. all Christian sous. ANA sing,
ITO US Child Is born!

Medical iIuilI0r.

The celebrated physician, Rcord, was one
day walking along the boulevard in Paris,
when he met an old gentleman who was rich,
but who was at the same time noted for his
extreme stinginess. The old man, who WINS
somewhat Of a hyp0chondriac, imagined
that he could get some medical advice from
RECORD without paying for it.
Doctor, am feeling very poorly

SIN my stomach, doctor"
"Ah, that's bad. Please shut your eyes.
That's right. Now put out your tongue so

had waited patiently for about ten minutes
he opened his eyes, and found himself sur

was crazy, DR.. Ric,rd, in the meantime, had

FEDERAL JUSTICES.
Legal Lumlnaries Who Are Compelled to
 Perform Onerous Social Duties.

[Cor. Baltimore Sun.l
 They are most all men of such presence as to attract attention, even when their identity is unknown. Justice Bradley lives on I street, much closer to the Capi- tol than his brothers of the bench, and is less seen on the avenue than they. He is scarcely of medium height, and is slight of build, but his face is such that one will turn and look as he passes by. He lives in the row that three leading Democratic Senators, just before the war, essayed to make the most fashionable quarter of Washington, and in the same row where Generals Grant and Sherman subsequent ly resided. Chief Justice Waite who lives also on I street, but mile and a half west of Justice Bradley, generally walks alone
 Justice Harlan, who went to Rockville, last winter to live, when he comes or the avenue walks with different members of the court. Sometimes he and Justice Gray will come along together. Judge Harlan is man of splendied build, even for Kentuckian. He can easily look down on nine out of ten men that he passes, but when he walks with Judge Gray he has to look up, as the latter is really gigantic in his proportions. His frame is not, how ever, so well built and he is not as grace ful in his movements as Judge Harlan.
 Justice Miller, like the Chief Justice, seems to prefer a solitary promenade. His is one of the best-known figures on the avenue, but he rarely has company. and his most intimate friends are not apt to join him unless invited. He is one of the public men here who wear evening dress upon all occasions, and it must be an ex- tremely bitter and indictment day when he supplements it with an overcoat. Curios- ity has been expressed as to the reason for the pedestrian proclivities of the Supreme Court Justices.
 It is said that they find the exercise ab- solutely necessary, for in addition to their judicial labors they have to perform more social duties than any other nine men in the United States, if not in the world. No swell dinner in Washington is considered complete without the presence of one or more members of the Supreme Court, and almost all of the justices entertain largely themselves.
 No one in Washington gives more ire quent or more elaborate dinners than Jus tice Blatchford, and the mansion of Justice Matthews has long been noted for literary reunions, where the feast of reason played only secondary part.

A GOOD BOARD FENCE.
Directions for Making It on the Farm Dm
 ing the Winter Months.

Directlons for Making It on the Farm Dur
 ing the Winter Months.
 Take two saw horses, rather longer than your fence is high; cover them with strips of iron four inches wide. One-eighth inch thick. Make plain marks across them for the upper edge of each board, have a lot of cleats cut to length, lay them over the iron two feet from the end of the panel, and use wrought iron nails half an inch lcnger than the double thickness, which will make q smooth clinch. This is indoor work for winter. Have your posts sharpened and drive them with an iron sledge. Set them so the panels will lap four inches. Get hooks made of bending three-eighth inch round iron at a right angle with shanks five inches long. Drive them into the posts so as to put the second boards from the top into them. Drive them up snug and the fence is done. This is a good temporary or per manent fence. Gates may be made in a moment anywhere; the posts are easily got at for repairs; snow drifts are headed off by taking off the panels: it lhlShO pay UO put 0LieAl unueI SnelIef TOT the winter in some cases. To nail boards to posts soon develops all the weak spots in the lumber r-cross-grained boards are torn in two and nails are snapped by the heaving or swaying of the posts, and almost the only way to mend broken post is to drive new one beside it. Posts of bar iron two inches wide and half an inch thick with the hook welded into a hole. are in use hereabout; they never rot and are high ly portable, but the first cost is some- what serious.-E. s. Gilbert, in ". '. Tribune.
